Lines at the Polls
I’ll have more research later on this, but I’ve been reading numerous stories about lines at the polling places. What never seems to come up is just how long people believe it is appropriate to have to wait. Of course, we’d all love to zip into our polling place (or any place of business) and not have to wait. In reality, we understand that we’ll have to wait at least a little while for many things. But just how long is too long?
Here are some articles about lines.
